Downton Abbey Season 4 Spoilers: [Spoiler] Is Getting a New Boyfriend!

Lady Mary will soon be getting her groove back, as the Downton character is set to have a new boyfriend in Season 4, reports TVLine.

The show is said to be currently looking for an easy-on-the-eyes actor in his 30s to play "Lord Anthony Gillingham."

Dan Stevens, who played Matthew, left the show at the end of Season 3.

The show's executive producer, Gareth Neame, calls Matthew's departure a blessing in disguise for the series.

"In any relationship drama, the will-they-or-won’t-they is always more interesting than married couples," Gareth points out. "So actually what we’ve been able to do is reset [Lady Mary]. She has to start again, and that will be much more interesting."
